The purpose of these exercises is to make you aware of drivers complacency.Happy
Traffic believes that Collisions occur when we are not expecting them.If you are not prepared, even for a split
second, that’s when you get the big surprise.Getting to your destination is like a roll of the dice, gambling.Your either going to get caught, get hit, or have some serious conflict.The more conditions are adverse (not
perfect), the higher the risk.You need to realize its
not just about you.Its
about everyone on the road around you.They aren’t paying attention either and most are breaking the rules.In this assignment you will come to realize
how important it is to be aware, to exercise all defensive tools at your
disposal, and to have a better understand of your driving environment..

2.Count
how many driving errors you make in one drive time session(or for the day if

you are really adventurous).These errors could include:rolling stops, not stopping at unregulated
intersections, not turning into the right lane when making a right turn,
overshooting the crosswalk, running the yellow light, speeding because you
didn’t look at the speedometer, not using your signal when turning, not keeping
proper distance.In Florida, violating most of these infraction require mandatory traffic school.That’s when you call HAPPY TRAFFIC COMEDY
DRIVER IMPROVEMENT SCHOOL.

3.Make a note of some or all the activities
that you do in your car while driving, during one drive time session.Smoking, phoning, eating, surfing web,
dancing, singing, dressing, shaving, You didn’t know you were so busy?

4.Make a note of at least 5 activities you
see others doing in the cars around you, during one drive time session.This would include things like eating,
reading, phoning, texting, talking to passengers,
etc.Your traffic neighbors are very
busy.They are not expecting
conflict.They are very busy.

5.Watch
an intersection for 10 minutes.You
don’t have to go out of your way to do this

exercise. The next
time you are at a store that faces an intersection just take 5 or 10

minutes to watch the activities.Just jot down a few things you see.That way it remains in your mind.You will be amazed when you see that, lefties
are running the reds, and righties are running the
reds, and usually this is happening at the same time.People are taking off too quickly at with
green, gunning the yellow.You will see
people speeding up when approaching pedestrians, you will see changing lanes, crossing
over two or three lanes….because…..whoops! …..I forgot to get in the correct
lane.Overshooting the
crosswalks, and so much more. YOU ARE NOT SAFE.

6.The
last, but most important assignment.Drive during rush hour using the 2 second rule.That means intentionally leave space.Imagine your brakes are on the fritz, so you
will use your accelerator to slow your vehicle down…..which also means that you
will have to travel at a speed that will allow you to do this.Ooops, I
forgot…..this exercise must be done in the right lane to avoid getting
shot.(if you want, instead of
pretending your brakes are gone, pretend you have a new born baby in the back
seat, or a set of expensive crystal, or a cup of juice on the dash board…..YOU
GET THE GIST.)
